[icecast] bad buffering

Hi all!

I installed icecast & ices (from CVS)
Enerything runs, but with some problems:

When I connect to the server (with XMMS or MPlayer)
the buffer runs empty very quickly, causing interruptions.

My "server" is an old Pentium 120 with 64MB RAM ,a HD of 8G and an
ethernet NIC.
(I know it isn't much, but I'm tired of taking my CD collection to
work.) I ripped the tracks in OGG format at 56kbps 22050 Hz Samplerate.

my partial ices config:

         <encode>
            <nominal-bitrate>56000</nominal-bitrate>

            <!-- samplerate>22050</samplerate -->
            <channels>2</channels>
         </encode>

this is my CPU-load on the server:

 21:05:19 up 1 day, 23:00,  2 users,  load average: 1.07, 0.78, 0.60
47 processes: 45 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

Some hints?

Thanx a lot!
